Software Development Pty Ltd is evolving into your AI integration partner—grounded in decades of hands-on software delivery.

Led by CTO Steve Goodwin (Enterprise/Solution Architect & Senior Developer), our team blends deep architecture and engineering with product leadership, stakeholder engagement, and change delivery experience—supporting adoption in high-stakes, real-world environments.

We’ve shipped platforms in universities, research, health interventions, government, small-business, complex enterprise, and highly regulated operational settings—turning AI ambition into systems people actually use.

AI that delivers outcomes—not demos. We help you solve day-to-day hurdles like student disengagement and dropout risk, research bottlenecks and data overload, manual admin backlogs, compliance and governance burden, and the challenge of scaling expertise across your organisation.

Why us: we’re builders and architects first—supported by hands-on data + analytics, SaaS product delivery, and regulated compliance experience (including operational software where auditability and governance aren’t optional).

What you get: a partner who co-designs with you, prototypes fast, integrates safely into your environment, and ships modular, scalable solutions—backed by Azure/.NET engineering, API-first architecture, practical governance, and decision-ready reporting (e.g., KPI dashboards and analytics pipelines).

A platform backed by people who’ve shipped real systems. Software Development Pty Ltd is led by Steve Goodwin (CTO / Enterprise & Solution Architect) with deep experience across software design, implementation, deployment, integrations, and stakeholder-led delivery.

We pair that architecture depth with practical, on-the-ground capability in product operations, project/program delivery, solution architecture, and analytics-driven decision support—including KPI reporting, data capture, ETL, and operational dashboards (e.g., Power BI/Qlik-style outcomes reporting) and strong DevOps practices.

Proven delivery highlights:

• BeMentored (UQ) – AI-first agent development platform supporting configurable personas, multi-agent collaboration, and LLM independence using advanced approaches like RAG and CAG.
• BeUpstanding – low-code/no-code style platform enabling custom modules, content and reporting—built with modern web components and Azure services.
• Propelo (UQ / UniQuest) – cloud messaging platform supporting scalable health behaviour change programs.
• Magman Solutions – mining software suite streamlining site processes including explosives magazine stock control and shift management—requiring strong governance, stakeholder alignment, and audit-ready delivery.
• TunnelTrap / DataTrap Pro – engineering/infrastructure systems used on major projects, including data outputs for geospatial and construction workflows.
• Aeropower – long-term asset and inspection platforms with field data capture (photos/tablets/GPS) and cloud delivery.

That track record is exactly why TARA exists: a flexible AI-first framework we can tailor to your domain, your data, and your governance needs—without forcing you into a one-size-fits-all product.

• AI Agents with Purpose
  Digital tutors, research copilots, analytics assistants, policy/compliance helpers, and workflow agents—built around your outcomes, not generic templates.
• Architecture that scales (and survives audits)
  API-first, modular design with practical governance patterns—built by enterprise and solution architects who’ve delivered in complex organisations and regulated operational contexts.
• RAG/CAG + LLM independence
  Where it matters, we design solutions to work across different models and data contexts, using advanced generation approaches for reliability and relevance.
• Azure/.NET delivery muscle + modern DevOps
  Proven full-stack delivery across Azure services, .NET, SQL, TypeScript, and modern web components—supported by CI/CD and delivery discipline that keeps teams moving and releases safe.
• Analytics that drives action
  Dashboards, KPI reporting, and insight workflows that surface what matters—so leaders and teams can act (not just observe).
• Co-designed with your stakeholders
  We translate real-world requirements into working software fast—workshopping, prototyping, testing, and iterating with the people who will actually use it.
• From pilot to production
  Secure deployment, integration, documentation, and long-term support—so your solution doesn’t stall after the demo.

This isn’t SaaS. This is a partnership with senior builders. We work side-by-side with educators, researchers, operational leaders, and technical teams to design systems that are useful, adoptable, and resilient.

Our leadership includes Steve Goodwin (CTO / Enterprise & Solution Architect), plus experienced product and delivery leaders with a track record spanning solution architecture, project management, stakeholder facilitation, strategic planning, and hands-on engineering. That means you get practical guidance on what to build, how to roll it out, how to integrate it into legacy systems, and how to keep it compliant—without losing momentum.

Whether you’re improving student outcomes, streamlining HR/admin workflows, enabling longitudinal research, building regulated operational platforms, or delivering training at scale—we help you move from problem definition to working capability, with measurable impact.

Clients describe our work as practical, fast, and outcomes-driven. Here are a few highlights:

• Mining software: “exceptional… practical software solutions to deliver on our outcomes.” — Rodney Bedgood, Magman Mining Software
• Long-term product delivery: “a vital part of [the] business… keep abreast of the latest software developments.” — David Salmon, Aeropower Pty Ltd
• From idea to commercial reality: “from the drawing board to a commercial reality very quickly.” — Jared Mann, Trading Software Pty Ltd
• Research delivery: “goes above and beyond on every project… responsive, agile, and highly professional.” — Genevieve Healy, The University of Queensland

Behind the scenes, that delivery strength is supported by leaders who’ve redesigned and scaled SaaS products, improved adoption through stakeholder-led rollout, and delivered analytics and compliance outcomes in regulated environments.

If you want references aligned to your domain (university, research, health, regulated operations, enterprise), we can share examples that match your goals and constraints.

AI is moving fast—but adoption fails when it’s not grounded in real operations. The organisations succeeding with AI are the ones building with experienced architects and delivery leaders who understand education nuance, research complexity, legacy constraints, security, regulated compliance, analytics, and change management.

That’s our edge. We’ve delivered platforms across universities, health interventions, government and enterprise—and also understand what it takes to run and scale software in regulated operational environments—then used those lessons to build TARA as a flexible foundation for human-centered AI agents and workflows.

Many programs today are still:

• Fragmented across systems
• Generic rather than personalised
• Disconnected from real-time data and outcomes
• Light on governance when audits and regulators are involved

The result: lost opportunities for learning, engagement, service quality, and meaningful change. We help you connect the dots—with AI that’s designed, governed, and deployed for the way your organisation actually works.

Let’s co-create intelligent, ethical, and impactful AI tools, designed with you, for your people.

Our head office is located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, but we can virtually meet anywhere in the world and would love to talk to you about your needs.
